Nintendo will increase the Switch2 price by 10,000 yen starting May 25, according to GAME Watch. The current price remains available only through May 24. Original Switch models are also scheduled for price increases, though details were not specified.
The Switch2 price increase takes effect May 25, raising the console's cost by 10,000 yen. GAME Watch reports that May 24 is the last day to buy at the current price. Nintendo has not commented on the reason for the increase, but the move comes as component costs and yen weakness continue to pressure hardware margins. The original Switch models are also slated for price increases, though no dates or amounts have been announced. The Switch2 launched in 2025 and has sold steadily, but this is the first price adjustment since release.
